| Description |
English: A young man (left) in riding dress, faces two money-lenders (right); all are seated beside a table on which is a coffee-pot, cup, &c. He leans back in a nonchalant attitude, his riding-whip in his right hand, his left held out towards the usurers. Although the likeness is not pronounced, the star on his coat, together with his youth, indicate the Prince of Wales. Both usurers are gnarled and elderly, one, with the beard and profile of a Jew, is reading a large deed with pendent seals. The other, wearing a bag-wig and holding his hat on his knee, looks towards the deed with a satisfied expression. 8 November 1784

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
